It should be noted that in the raw results from google.dk, the majority of the top-ranking universities are actually in Sweden, since the Swedish word universitet is identical to the Danish word, and the Swedish universities rank higher overall. (Sorry, Denmark.)

What if we search google.dk for university instead of universitet? The institutions are the same, but the rankings shift around a bit:

As one would expect from well-designed international websites, these are all specially-written English-language pages, distinct from the Danish-language pages that come up in the Danish search. And interestingly, in the raw results that google.dk provides when searching for university as opposed to universitet, the Swedish institutions that populated the Danish-language SERPs are gone.
